to the equipment described in this manual.

©Copyright Task Force Tips LLC 2010-2021 3 LIY-250 May 10, 2021 Rev03
1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:
2.0 SAFETY
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The 4.5” Quick Connect allows a monitor or elbow to be quickly and easily installed, removed and replaced. Applications include front
bumper mounts for tilt-cab chassis maintenance, and sharing monitors between multiple standpipes. A ratcheting pull pin prevents
loosening of 4.5”NH threads due to vibration. The elbow may be used to supply a fire pump in lieu of a hydrant.
Maximum operating pressure for elbow is 300 psi (20 bar), with a hydrostatic proof test pressure of 900 psi (62 bar). See monitor
instruction manuals for maximum operating pressure of Monsoon, Typhoon, and Hurricane series monitors.
3.1 SPECIFICATIONS
.0
Table 3.1
3.2 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided the equipment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the
equipment may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion, and is not covered under warranty.
DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.
DANGER
An inadequate supply of pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and can result
in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate fire suppression. See flow
graphs.
WARNING
This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Use of this equipment for
other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and
training to reduce risk of injury.
WARNING
The stream exiting a nozzle is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the nozzle is securely attached and pointing in a safe direction before water is turned on.
Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.
WARNING
Equipment may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of water. Such damage
may be difficult to detect visually. Subsequent pressurization can lead to injury or death. Any time
the equipment is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be tested and approved for
use by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use.

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
The structure that the monitor is mounted to must withstand the internal
pressure of the monitor as well as shear and bending forces due to nozzle
reaction. Nozzle reaction can be as high as 1500 lbs (700 kg)(2000 gpm at
200 psi).
For flanged connections, the use of flat flanges without raised faces is
recommended. Use a ring gasket as defined in ASME 16.21 or ISO 7483.
Tighten flange bolts in an alternating sequence as shown below. Tighten
sequentially each bolt or stud three times to 30%, then 60%, and finally
100% of the specified torque. Tighten to a total of 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 N·m).
WARNING
Reaction forces generated by master stream flows are capable of causing injury and property
damage if not properly supported. Monitors should be securely installed by qualified individuals.
• Mounting objects must be capable of withstanding maximum nozzle reaction force listed in
SPECIFICATIONS.
• The monitor must be securely mounted to rigid support members.
• Do not use flanges or pipe made from plastic for monitor mounting.
• Torque all fasteners to specified values.

4.2 INLET ADAPTER MOUNTING
Various Inlet Adapters can be used for 4.5” Quick Connect Monitors and Elbows. These Inlet Adapters must be oriented upon installation
for the monitor to point in the desired direction. Figure 4.2 shows examples of Inlet Adapters and the location of a “Straight Ahead
Reference Mark” recessed into the threads. In the case of the VUM, the hex head trunnion between ports C2 and C3 serves as the
Straight Ahead Reference Mark.
Travel ranges relative to the Straight Ahead Reference Mark can be modified by using Stop Bolts, which are used to limit the travel. See
instruction manual for monitor for use of Stop Bolts.

5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 QUICK CONNECT MONITORS
TO INSTALL MONITOR ON INLET ADAPTER:
1. Hold locking pin out. Push coupling up as far as it will go, then release locking pin. This will hold the coupling out of the way while
mounting the monitor onto inlet base.
2. Align the narrow tongue on the monitor inlet with straight ahead reference mark on the inlet adapter, then slide into inlet adapter.
3. Hold locking pin out. Rotate coupling clockwise until threads engage on inlet adapter, then release locking pin.
4. Continue to rotate coupling until tight. Locking pin will ratchet across detents, but it is not necessary to over-tighten coupling if
locking pin ends up between detent positions. To prevent damage, do not use locking pin as a lever to tighten or loosen coupling.
TO REMOVE MONITOR FROM INLET ADAPTER:
1. Hold locking pin out. Rotate coupling counter-clockwise at least a half-turn to clear the detents, then release locking pin.
2. Continue to rotate coupling until threads are no longer engaged.
3. Lift the monitor out of the inlet adapter.
Figure 5.1
5.2 QUICK CONNECT ELBOWS
Elbow is intended for temporary installation only, so a locking pin is not needed. (see Figure 5.1)
The full time swivel joint and tongues engaged into slots are able to prevent accidental disassembly due to forces acting on the hose
line. If desired, a 1/4”NPT pressure gage may be installed in the elbow by drilling thru the blind port shown in section 4.2 using a ¼” drill
bit.
TO INSTALL ELBOW ON INLET ADAPTER:
1. Align narrow tongue on the inlet elbow with straight ahead reference mark in the inlet adapter, then slide into inlet adapter.
2. Rotate coupling clockwise until tight.
TO REMOVE ELBOW FROM INLET ADAPTER:
1. Rotate coupling counter-clockwise until threads are no longer engaged.
2. Lift the elbow out of the inlet adapter.

7.0 MAINTENANCE
TFT products are designed and manufactured to be damage resistant and require minimal maintenance. However, as the primary
firefighting tool upon which your life depends, it should be treated accordingly. The unit should be kept clean and free of dirt by rinsing
with water after each use. Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced before placing the unit in service. To help
prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment.
In applications where appliances are left continuously connected to the apparatus or other devices or are used where water is trapped
inside the appliance, the appliance must be flushed with fresh water following each use and inspected for damage.
This appliance should be disconnected, cleaned and visually inspected inside and out at least quarterly, or as water quality and use may
require. Moving parts such as handles, valve ball and couplings should be checked for smooth and free operation. Seals shall be
greased as needed with Silicone based grease such as Molykote 112. Any scrapes that expose bare aluminum should be cleaned and
touched up with enamel paint such as Rust-Oleum. Replace any missing or damaged parts before returning to service.
Any equipment taken out of service due to failure should be returned to the factory for repair or replacement. If you have any questions
regarding the testing or maintenance of your valve, please call Task Force Tips at 800-348-2686.
7.1 SERVICE TESTING
In accordance with NFPA 1962, equipment must be tested a minimum of annually. Units failing any part of this test must be removed
from service, repaired and retested upon completion of the repair.
7.2 REPAIR
Factory service is available with repair time seldom exceeding one day in our facility. Factory serviced equipment is repaired by
experienced technicians, wet tested to original specifications, and promptly returned. Any returns should include a note as to the nature
of the problem and whom to reach in case of questions.
Repair parts and service procedures are available for those wishing to perform their own repairs. Task Force Tips assumes no liability for
damage to equipment or injury to personnel that is a result of user service. Contact the factory or visit the web site at tft.com for parts
